Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Picked up a 5:1 gear set here on TT. The picked up a "used" Curado 201E7 (I love this forum --- the "used" reel was almost brand new).
Sent them both off to my Shimano reel guy, Dan Isaac. Got the reel back on Thursday and took it with me to the Delta yesterday.
I LOVE this reel!!!! I'm mostly a Daiwa guy but really liked this E series of Curados. But ..... I was really ticked that they didn't make a lefty 5 to 1 retrieve. This now solves my problem!
I am a happy camper.

Nice...I was going to do this with one of my 201e7's. I also wished they would have offered this from the factory.

nicely done! I had bought a 200E5 and couldn't get used to winding with my right hand, I sold it and bought a Winch.

i liked the green on the curado e but not on the curado g.
i don't mind the white color but i did NOT like the price increase --- for the same reel
